I SAW DAYLIGHT is a five-piece band from Ulm, Germany, who have been exploring the boundaries between melodic hardcore, emo, and post-hardcore since 2010 — honest, uncompromising, and guided by a clear political compass. Emerging from a politicized punk and hardcore scene, the band has built a name for itself far beyond Southern Germany through consistent DIY work, a high degree of autonomy, and unwavering integrity. Their sound is defined by raw energy, deeply emotional lyrics, and a sense for atmospheric density that resonates just as strongly live as it does on record.
With their new EP smilingisoverrated, I SAW DAYLIGHT deliver a powerful snapshot of emotional contradiction — dark, raw, and brutally honest. Released via Hamburg-based label Through Love Records, the EP is an intense and atmospherically rich work that moves between forceful aggression and deep vulnerability. Across five songs, the band channels existential themes such as isolation, self-doubt, and the sense of being lost in a world that constantly demands optimism — and this inner conflict echoes in every sonic moment.
